Chapter 157: Europa League Champion (Asking for Votes)
"How is that possible?"
"Three penalties, all saved, is this still human?"
"I'm starting to believe the rumor that has a 90% success rate."
"You don't know, Abu just watched a game where Jose saved a penalty and then decided to buy him early."
"The buses are invincible in the Champions League next year, with their defensive ability, drag the handlebar to the penalty shootout, who can win them?"
"My Messi can."
"The shorty penalty is not as good as my Luo."
As Messi and Ronaldo showed significantly higher quality than other players, their fans also increased, which also led to the fact that no matter what the game, they could meet both fans.
As long as Mero fans meet, it will inevitably cause a war of words.
It's as if you can't show that your favorite player is superior if you don't compare them to others.
"Jose, you're amazing."
Seeing Jose save Tevez's penalty, Villa's players crowded around.
"Andreas, it's your turn, take it easy." Lambert said to Weiman.
"Hmm." Weimann took a deep breath and slowly walked to the penalty area.
In the face of Buffon, the pressure on Weimann is undoubtedly enormous.
If they score, then Villa can be closer to the title.
Unfortunately, Weimann missed the penalty.
He chose to hit the top left corner, but the force was too strong and he went straight over.
Villa missed the chance to extend the score.
Juventus players and fans were relieved to see Weimann miss the penalty.
"Didn't you say penalties were easy to score? How come six people only scored one goal? ”
"Not normal, absolutely not normal."
"I can only blame the two goalkeepers for being too strong."
Penalties continued in the fourth round.
The fourth to represent Juventus was midfield centrepiece Andrea Pirlo.
Pirlo will turn 35 in a few days, and he is second only to Gianluigi Buffon on the pitch.
As the absolute heart of Juventus, Pirlo contributed 7 shots on goal and 4 hits on goal in this game, and 72 successful passes from 83 attempts, including 11 long balls, all of which were the highest in the game.
For such a veteran, Jose admires.
Jose didn't know much about Andrea Pirlo, except that two years ago at the European Championships, Pirlo used an unconventional spoon penalty to penetrate Joe Hart's goal, thus blowing the clarion call for the Azzurri to reverse the Three Lions.
There are many praises for Pirlo in the world, such as "football artist", "Leonardo da Vinci on the field" and so on.
José faced Pirlo and didn't feel any pressure.
It's not because José is strong, it's because the aura that Pirlo exudes is just that.
Elegant, calm, and awe-inspiring.
Pirlo's running moves are very ordinary, very casual, not like they are fighting to the death at all.
"Is it still a spoon penalty?" Jose watched Pirlo run and shoot, frowned and muttered.
Pirlo did opt for a spoon penalty, but it wasn't a spoon penalty because his shot was directed into the top left corner of the goal.
Jose used the plug-in and he could see the direction of Pirlo's shot, but he couldn't make a save.
There was no way, Jose needed to take a penalty before he could tell where he was shooting.
In this way, it will take 0.3-0.5 seconds just to determine the direction of the shot.
Andrea Pirlo's penalty was scored.
"The sleeping skin is too strong, and I dare to punish the dead corner position above."
"Do you think Juventus will start to reverse from sleeping skins like they did two years ago?"
"This. Possibly. ”
Next, it was Delph's turn to play.
The result is speechless.
Usually playing football, Delph is used to a strong kick, but today he actually wanted to kick the bottom left corner.
Not surprisingly, he missed.
After four rounds of penalty kicks, the score became 1-1.
At this point, all the pressure came to the two players in the fifth round.
Representing Juventus, the fifth player was Giovinco.
As an orthodox striker, although penalty kicks are not his strong point, his shooting skills are definitely not comparable to ordinary players.
Jose didn't underestimate his opponent.
Giovinco was well aware of the importance of his shot.
I saw him take two steps slowly, and then suddenly accelerated, completing the whole process from running to shooting in one go.
After Giovinco kicked the ball, it instantly turned into a white light and flew towards the lower left corner of the goal.
The ball is so fast that it is categorically difficult for the average goalkeeper to save.
It's just that his shot is not even as good as Tevez's.
So, unsurprisingly, Jose saved his opponent's penalty again.
"Perverted, perverted, five penalties, four saved."
"When did it become so hard to take penalties?"
"I don't know who the last person in Vera is, so I won't be punished again, right?"
"Alas, if it weren't for the two of Villa's penalties, it's over now."
"Hey, why is Jose still in the box?"
"It's not going to be a penalty for the Villa goalkeeper, is it?"
It's a normal reaction for fans to have doubts.
You know, it's not often that the goalkeeper takes a penalty.
In the eyes of fans around the world, Jose stood in the penalty area.
"How am I going to kick this ball?" José pondered.
Jose knows very well that without plug-ins, Buffon's strength is going to surpass his current own.
If he wants to surpass Buffon, it will be almost difficult without 3-5 years of experience in the top flight.
Experience never happens overnight.
In addition, cheating does not help you increase your shooting success rate.
Or rather, so far, Jose doesn't know how to use the cheating to improve his shooting success rate.
A penalty kick is different from a free kick in that it is too close, and if you push too hard, you are likely to kick it straight away, as Weimann and Bakuna did.
Whoever hits the goal hard in a penalty kick will honestly kick it under the goal.
Neither the Full Moon Scimitar nor the Fallen Leaf Drifter are suitable for penalty kicks, and the only thing Jose can use is the violent heavy artillery.
"In that case, let's just cover it." José had a decision in mind.
Adjusting his breathing, Jose began to run towards the penalty spot.
At 12 yards, José shifted all his strength to his right leg except for the limited amount of power he used to support his left foot.
"Bang~"
Even the fans sitting in the distance could clearly hear the sound of the ball hitting the boots.
Then I saw an afterimage, flying towards the center of the goal.
Buffon's calf touched the ball, but there was nothing he could do to prevent it from crossing the goal line.
Shockingly, the ball that crossed the goal line almost crashed through the net behind the goal.
"How is that possible?"
"Ka's heavy artillery, this is Ka's heavy artillery!"
"Damn, Buffon can't stop the ball when he touches it."
"Block? Don't you see Buffon walking with a limp? ”
"I'll go, really, Buffon should be glad that he didn't hit Buffon Jr.."
"It's brutal."
Seeing the ball rolling in the goal, Jose knew he had scored.
This means that he helped the team win this game.
Villa will be the winners of the Europa League this season.
"We won." Jose roared in the sky.
"We're champions." Looking at his teammates who were coming around, José shouted happily.
"Yes, we are champions." Teammates crowded around Jose.
"Thank you." The first thing Paul Lambert said to Jose turned out to be a thank you.
As a manager, their lifelong ambition is to lead the team to good results in European competition.
Paul Lambert, of course, chose Villa, never imagined that there would be such a day, his initial task was to lead Villa and stay in the Premier League, nothing more.
Now, Jose's unexpected rise has finally given him a chance to taste the European title.
While the Europa League title is not as big as the Champions League, it is an unattainable luxury for Paul Lambert and Villa.
Hearing the manager's words, Jose didn't say much, just gave the other party a deep hug.
The Scottish coach, who likes to wear black-rimmed glasses, has his own preferences, but he is still good for himself.
At this moment, José completely regained his nature, and he returned to the innocence of his age.
The cautious and old-fashioned seriousness of the past is gone.
Like a child, he frolicked with his teammates on the pitch.
José climbed onto Baker's shoulder, then towards the Villa fan stands, shouting: "I love you guys. ”
Hearing José's shout, the Villa fans also responded: "Jose, you will always be our god. ”
At some point, the fans pulled up a banner that read: "Villa will always be your home." ”
Looking at the banner, José burst into tears.
For a moment, he wanted to stay.
But reason told him that in order to achieve higher honors, he had to go to a better platform.
In fact, why don't Villa fans want Jose to stay?
It's just that they also know very well that if this talented goalkeeper continues to stay in the Villa team, it will completely bury his talent.
So, from start to finish, Villa's fans never said anything about it.
José actually understands the thoughts of the fans.
It's just that he has to go to a higher platform in order to have more room for growth.
"If there is a day, I will definitely come back." José made a secret vow in his heart.
The award ceremony lasted more than an hour.
Juventus players and fans are undoubtedly disappointed.
Originally, they thought that winning the Europa League was just a sure thing.
However, the reality is not as they hoped.
Juventus lost the game at their home stadium.
Of course, for this game, Juventus players and fans were convinced.
In addition to the fact that the Juventus players did not take advantage of the opportunity, but also because of Jose's performance, it was too rebellious.
"Congratulations."
Unexpectedly, Buffon and Pirlo led the Juventus players to congratulate Jose and Villa's players one by one.
As for Conte, he pulled Paul Lambert and said something.
José suddenly understood that this was magnanimity.
Speaking of stadium bearing, Jose couldn't help but think of a rumor.
A few years ago, in a Champions League knockout match, a well-known team in La Liga, after being eliminated by Inter Milan at home, began to sprinkle the stadium on the spot regardless of whether the Inter Milan players were present.
Although their actions are reasonable, they always give people a sense of narrow-mindedness.
